   RE: [xml-dev] Parse Error - Invalid Character

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

The original XML document doesn't have > angle bracket where you have
suggested.  I think that maybe the XML reader place it there.  I'm going to
try and place the original XML in here again.  I will attach it as a ZIP
file to ensure that it does not get parsed:

Nope, the problem is the right angle bracket '>' - this needs to be
escaped as > within the CDATA section.
